Dear customer Luis.F.acosta.Jr,
Thank you so much for your very important opinion. Yes, it is possible that some customers can misunderstand about that. Of course, it is not the case of all players. However, it is true that most players can find a tiny puddle on the floor after playing their trumpet even their water key normally works. That's because of lots of small drops leaking from its water key due to some reasons (e.g. instantaneous high pressure inside the trumpet, especially playing high notes that require high pressure, or etc.). We need more objective evidence about that, however, it is clear that there are many people who find the tiny puddle after they play their trumpets.
Anyway, your comments are really valuable in that we did not think about that. So, we changed the description on Amazon to minimize customers misunderstanding. Please check it and tell us more when you need.
Thanks a lot,
orogyLAB
There's a trumpet forum where I asked about the WindSorb. There was a person who thought that it was a dumb idea because the person thought the WindSorb was for remedying leaky water keys. That impression was left by the description on Amazon. The part of the description on Amazon that lead to that conclusion says: "WindSorb has a built-in high performance absorber [I'd say absorption pad] that continuously absorbs spit and water *leaking* from the water key while you are playing your trumpet." It should not say leaking, and it should also not say "while you are playing." One does not open the water key to empty the condensation while simultaneously playing. The use of the word "leaking" could lead to someone thinking in terms of a defective trumpet that leaks while playing. Instead, it should say something like this: "...absorbs the condensation that you release through the water key on the trumpet tuning slide." Bottom line: don't say "leaking." You may also use the verbs drain, release, or empty. Correction offered free of charge. ;-) To correct the misunderstanding, I posted this video to the forum.
